How Will a Support Group Help You?
Any experience related to a cardiac condition – whether you recently learned you have heart disease or are recovering from a heart attack, stroke or surgery – can leave you feeling overwhelmed and isolated. Our support groups provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can connect with other patients who are working through similar issues, from dealing with the trauma of a major cardiac event to making healthy lifestyle changes, such as losing weight or quitting smoking. Other beneficial factors of joining an education and support group include:
- Physical, spiritual and emotional encouragement
- Education for healthier living
- Opportunities to learn coping methods for overcoming pain
If you are interested in joining any of our cardiac support groups, see the descriptions below to choose the one that fits your needs.
